Thinking about how Zuko aligns Aang with Azula ("You're like my sister. Everything always came easy to her") and then in his first real chance to bond with Aang, the kid is flunking firebending hard and is actively scared of it, requiring Zuko to give him some nice encouragement ("You can do it. You're a talented kid")

OH YEAH and now I get to update my Master OC Komadori’s relationship chart with Castoria and Oberon! 
Cutting for LB6 spoilers:
Castoria: Immediately latched onto her because Mash was missing, but also because Castoria was very much like her in personality, and of course because they were so very kindred spirits. Komadori, while coping a bit better than canon Guda, is still a bit of a mess at this point, so she could identify pretty well with her, and really wanted to support her and help her any way she could. By the end of it she saw Castoria as a little sister of sorts, and misses her a great deal. Though in my verse, because of what Komadori unknowingly is -- a homunculi terminal for Alaya -- Artoria Avalon is able to send a piece of herself through to Chaldea to be a Servant; I guess it’s similar to the game, though it’s a bit hard to tell with the official translations of the post LB6 dialogue still a ways off, but the Castoria in Chaldea definitely remembers the Lostbelt and everything and is pretty much officially part of Komadori’s Inner Circle with Mash, Cu, Robin, Emiya, and Gil. 
Oberon: Oops, she fell for him. She was fond of his polite but irreverent attitude, his good cheer, and how helpful he was, but what really got to her is how he understood the feelings about her mission she was struggling with without telling anyone, and how he was able to say the things she wished someone would say to her. She also sympathized with his futile quest for Titania. As time wore on, she got a bit suspicious of his motives and behavior, but put it out of her mind when it seemed like Morgan had killed him. Though on the other had, she...wasn’t sure he was dead. The whole thing hadn’t felt right. Ironically, she’d thought it felt too sudden, like a hurried plot twist that was quickly written into the plot rather than something naturally part of the story. So at the end, she realized the truth right before he showed up, and...maybe it was silly, but his revealing of his true self drew her to him more. She saw how miserable he was, and saw through his lies, and she really wanted to save him. She ran to try and catch him before he fell, but couldn’t make it in time, and that sucked! But she tried to summon him after, and he showed up-- Artoria Avalon had heard her calling from Avalon, and pulled him from the Abyss (something she could do because he was still a part of Albion) so she could shove him at Komadori. He and Gil are grouchy cats eyeing each other warily, if civilly, but otherwise he gets on decently with Komadori’s other People. He’s not sure what to do with Komadori having a thing for him, given he’s unsure of this whole ‘love’ thing, but being loved is nice. It’s why he’d looked for Titania, after all. And he is, admittedly, fond of this batshit crazy Master.

I love Shisan so so so much. He really is a good friend to both of them.
He knows that the thing with Baby Marquis has been bugging her so:
Tumblr media
And he takes care of her:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Or this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Side note - the way both of the OTP are so considerate of each other kills me!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The thing with Shisan is he's incredibly nihilistic and accepting he will die violently and young, but he's somehow genuinely, optimistically healthy about it. I don't know how to describe it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also, out of the whole convo, this is what stuck with me the most:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It really is the theme of the story - you can be strong but you still need love and care.
And I love that there is not even a hint of him fancying Ruyi. He likes her as a battle comrade and as someone who makes NYZ happy. They are friends and kindred spirits. There is no romance. And it's glorious.

Opinions on DirkRose?
so when i was 16-18 in high school i was briefly in this very tightknit three person online friend group with me + this extremely popular homestuck artist at the time + their best friend that i quickly developed a crush on. and this online friend roleplayed dirk at the same time i was roleplaying rose (a rose from the same timeline as whom is probably the most famous dave strider roleplayer in the history of homestuck rp. but that nuclear fallout is a story for another day) in the wild wild west that was the 2012 homestuck rp landscape on tumblr (aka the multiple timelines theory)(at some point my rose was involved with, like, a marius pontmercy. yes from les mis. and also a genderbent rose in an ambiguous almost selfcest situationship.)
anyway so i asked her if she wanted to ship our rp characters which was very "baby's first time asking for what they want" of me, and she said yes, and dirk and rose wrote each other a couple of inter-dimensional letters that were quite beautiful and poignant at least in my memory. the vibe was "very traumatized young adults find an equally jaded and verbose kindred spirit and they tentatively show each other the vulnerable side that they can't show anyone else through the safe distance of penpalship" so of course the rp brain chemicals were INTENSE (by the way the three of us were in a slightly larger skype group chat with a couple of other tumblr friends, whom ocassionally would make "you and alex should date lol!" jokes. my fragile teenage psyche was convinced it was going to happen)
but anyway the writing was super slow and i knew that this friend was much more into dirkjake (and VERY hung up on our other friend/her best friend) but whenever i could hold her attention she seemed to be interested in our writing
her dirk had a poetry sideblog (i want to say cringe in retrospect but honestly. at the time i thought it was some elevated literary use of the medium. and it probably was) and i would check it CONSTANTLY trying to decipher if anything new dirk posted was about my rose, but the posts were too vague for solid conclusions
anyway long story short for what was probably somewhere between months and a year (can't recall) i lived in that rp brain chemical addiction thrill-of-the-chase hell state surviving on kernels of character interactions and fantasies about dirk and rose, like i'm talking emotional-support OTP levels of emotional investment. the daily emotional rollercoaster was insane. it would make or break my day depending on what vague poetry dirk strider posted
until ONE DAY.... I FOUND OUT.... she had been rping dirkjake with our OTHER friend/her best friend for a while AND JUST DIDN'T TELL ME. BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T WANT TO UPSET ME. I WAS HEARTBROKEN (these weren't multishipping type blogs. you had one character timeline and by god you stuck to it)
i legitimately do not recall what i did re: the dirk ordeal, but i do remember that at some point (the timeline in relation to the rp drama is long lost to the sands of time) i confessed and she rejected me and i felt soooo led on which was probably a product of this friend being so conflict averse. i was in a crying or close-to-tears state for about a day and a half which i recall very vividly because at the time it was by FAR the biggest social heartbreak of my life. a solid 36 hours of "i'm going to feel like this FOREVER and my heart will never HEAL" teenage angst. i remember it so viscerally lol. especially because my parents straight up didn't notice. but that's an entirely different can of baggage
anyway eventually i met my then-girlfriend and the three person friend group drifted apart. much later i found out they had felt soooo betrayed but what was i supposed to do. third wheel them as the least important person in the group forever??? i think at some point the three of us hung out together for an afternoon when we happened to be in the same city but it must have been completely unremarkable because i don't remember any of it.
anyway what was the question again. yeah dirkrose is fine

My Thoughts on Cheng Shaoshang & Ling Buyi (First 24 Episodes )(*contains spoiler*)
So if a Byronic hero and a female Harry Potter were a couple...
Well that seems to be a crazy fanfiction idea but this is real.
Tumblr media
So the female lead, Cheng Shaoshang (Niaoniao), had been left behind by her parents who had to go to a military expedition, and thus she had been brought up by abusive family members. Since she had nobody but herself to depend on, she learnt only one thing. How to survive. When finally her parents came back to home after 15 years she thought her life would be different, but then her mother started giving her a hard time under the disguise of parental education and she no longer believes that there will be someone who really cares about and protects her. Her only aim is to escape her mother's clutches and strict manners and be free enough to do what she wishes. Which leads her to make very heartbreaking choices.
Tumblr media
And the male lead, General Ling Buyi (Zhisheng), has a tragic backstory. His mother's family had been massacred because of a treacherous act in the army, his mother went insane to the point where she no longer knows her own son, his father who thought his son and his wife also died in the massacre, got married with his cousin and didn't divorce her even after he found out his son and his wife were alive. So basically he loathes his father too much that he even goes against him in front of the strangers (I must remind you this is Confucian society) and turned into a war machine even though he used to have hemaphobia when he was a kid. This tells you enough what kind of person whom he turned into. He seeks justice -but more like revenge- and tries to find the mastermind behind the massacre.
She learns how to be cunning and street smart, he learns how to be ruthless and cold as ice.
Ling Buyi fell for first and then harder. He was in this for the long haul however he lost his chance. Because he is too late to confess his feelings. Also she doesn't know him and finds fim a little scary. She clearly states that she doesn't want to live in a violent and suffocating environment, has no desire to carry more responsibilites so being a militarist's wife is not even a desirable choice. And he knows this. So that's why he is out of the picture. But is he really?
The thing is although she wants to stay away from responsibilites and harshness because of the way she was brought up, the same reason causes her to listen to the voice of conscience. She can not tolerate any injustice or bullying. Also since she has strong survival skills, she is excellent at making the right choices under fatal circumstances. She is born to lead and yet to see this simple truth.
So this is deifinitely not a smooth sailing. They are kindred spirits but she needs to realise this by herself: what she really wants, with whom she will walk on the road she chooses, who she is. As for him, he already knows what he wants but I think we’ll see how much he needs someone to fight for him as well.
I am gonna write “My Top Ten OTP Scenes” below.
10) The way he understood her plot and helped her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They are match made in heaven.
9) Third time’s a charm! Their third meeting was one of the most memorable scenes for me!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You know he is not a gentleman when it comes to other ladies, he has like no-shit-given attitude, he doesn't follow etiquettes or some social norms, HOWEVER after she had lied in front of everyone by saying that he admired her but she never reciprocated his feelings, and came to face to face the man whom she talked about confidently a few seconds ago while trying to make a dramatic exit, the only thing he did was to smile (which is a rare sight) without correcting her lie.
He’s the heartless general to everyone else, but completely whipped and adoring around her. 
I am going weak at my knees.
8) Being confidants 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He doesn't find her annoying or see her as a person who should be disciplined, on the contrary he acts like they are peers, he entrusts her with finding a secret map, shows her respect.
Of course he teases her a lot but in the manner of a lover. Cute.
7) Cliche but who cares.
Tumblr media
I mean I've seen worse slow burn romances than this, I have a tough skin when it comes to angst, but this doesn't change the fact that his agony goes deep.
He accepts harsh reality but never stops loving her which brings them to this point: He asks for the emperor to give her a praising (very well deserved btw) so people will show some respect to her and then reads the imperial edict at her engagement banquet. 
Peak level angst.
Well, selfless love is something like this I guess.
Later she trips and he holds her...*Katy Perry E.T.  starts playing in my mind*
Meanwhile everybody at the banquet: *le-scandale*.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Everbody just knows. Or feels something is going on.
6) The execution scene and later all the dialogues in his carriage
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The man has strong spidey-senses or more like Shaoshang needs me senses maybe? 
Even if it’s a little controversial to see Lady He has enough strength to behead someone, I’ll overlook realities.
5) His going feral after finding out she got ambushed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I will never get over this.
4) JUST ALL OF THIS
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Damn. You can clearly see that they are just so compatible.
She is smart, determined and doesn’t give a shit about what is ominous or not. Even after the surrenders try to scare her she doesn’t waver. She has strong beliefs about justice. To her, justice isn’t something to be sacrificed for some traditions, you must act immediately even at the cost of breaking some taboos.
That’s why he admires her and knows he found his lifepartner.  
3) His farewell 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The whole scene is so heartbreaking but you know what hits me hard? After watching the peaceful scenery in front of him he says “I just remembered that I never earnestly listened to you playing the flute since we know each other.”. 
This is a perfect way of telling how late he is to be with her. Even though I dislike her mother, she is right about one deduction, he is always on his duty, busy going after the betrayers, solving the cunning plans made by some traitors and he missed his chance to be with her under some normal and peaceful conditions. 
When she hopefully says she can play it for him later, it's just another hit. After the mission which seems to be fatal. If they have a chance. Which he thinks they will never meet again.
2) The public love declaration
Tumblr media Tumblr media
CSS: General Ling. The wife you get in the future will be a lot better than me. I am stubborn since young. I won't be educated and won't listen to you. Will you still marry someone like me? LBY: Of course. I never knew how wonderful I am to you. Similarly I am sure you don't know that in my eyes, Cheng Shaoshang is the best lady in the capital. Everyone says to marry a gentle and virtuous lady. Madam Cheng is fierce in battle and doesn't lose to men on the battlefield. But off the battlefield, you're also in love with General Cheng. It's clear to see that every couple is different and not as everyone says. Shaoshang might not be an obedient lady in everyone's eyes. But to me, she is the whole capital and the whole world's best lady. Indeed. She is pure and decisive. She dares to love and hate. She is the only one who can walk alongside me in this world. I will only marry her in my life.
I HAVE NO WORDS.
1) Her removing arrow from his chest
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think this is way too intense not because of the process, just because of his whole demeanor and starings...also man has to sort out his priorities because-
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah buddy you are just about to lose your arm or worse your life and your only concern is if there is someone special in her life or her hands hurt. It's just freaking too much. Maybe the first question is to make her relaxed but come on he really asks what he is curious about. The first part of her answer makes him upset even. I can’t with him.
This is the main dish then the dessert is served.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
CSS: *Casually talking about the mastermind behind the ambush like a strategist* LBY: *Proud husband look* His men: *gasp*
She is like "oh god i didn't hold my tongue again and now they will think i am not normal" but she has no idea, doesn’t she?

thinking about how when ariel got her voice back she will tell eric all the things she collected that belonged to the above world and how much it meant to her to find someone like him who loves to collect things too and is just as curious about the rest of the world as she is and now they get to go off exploring and collecting things together and teaching each other even more about the above world and the ocean 😭😭😭😭

He had gone to Lady Laura Standish for sympathy, and she had given it to him in full measure. She understood him and his aspirations if no one else did so on the face of the earth. She rejoiced in his triumph, and was not too hard to tell him that she looked forward to his success.
